In practice these terms are interchangeable. A desk calendar or table calendar sits on the desk and has a stand to keep it upright. A triangular calendar or tent calendar refers to the triangular shape of the model when viewed from the side: the spine forms the top of the triangle, while the front and back form the sloping sides.
At Stockmans we offer several models in this type: the Galatea (215×105 mm), the Panopea (215×160 mm), the Lotis (110×180 mm) and other formats. All are finished with a luxury metal Wire-O binding and a sturdy cardboard stand.
